WEEKLY-SENTINEL

Monday,- r - . JUNK 22. Tbe Mate Gtrtrnnirnt. Tbe people have beef Hi to believ that their Representative hatltlie right t direct ihe affairs of the Government, subject only to the limitations of the Constitution, Such, at all event?, I the theory of our institutions. What ue of Leis! tures or Congress, if they are not to provide (he means and make the appropriations for the jupport of th Government. In the content for popular, Hglus lü ül.ind, the Parliaments refused 9 cent of appxoprlallonsitil tbe despotic rulers vieUM the conceptions and limita tions of power demanded by the people.

A Governor, whose dntv i; to ee that the laws be faithfully executed, U endeavoring to usurp all the powers of tbe Government. We have been accustomed to condemn the despotisms of the Ohl World, and thank God that wt were free from them, but a portion of tbe peorle are justifying the actj of a Jitlle Dictator who is aping Louis Nafoleos, Fba5cis Joseph, and Am Dra, but of course 'on a very small scale. By the necesfion of his political friends from the Legislature, last winter, the appropriations nece-wary for the support of the Sute Got. crnment, and maintain its honor, failed. The Journal sits the Republican members were i their seats fifty four out of aiity-one d ijs What rtjrht had they to letve at all? None. But the Journal's concessions damage its ca tue. If thev were in their seats fifty four out of sixty-one days, as none of the measure objectionable had passed either branch of the Lepisla ture when they bolted, they had it in their power to defeat any legislation they desired, by consti tutiiirT means? . Jfo bills can pass the two Inst d its of the sesa;on. except suchas the Governor may veto. So that according to the Journal, only five days were left for legi-datian when the Republican members of the IIoue seceded. But such U the disposition of the Journal to lie, that it f iU to tell the truth when the truth would be better for its tanse than a lie The Republican members were absent twelve days. The Auditor's books wiil ghowthat they only got pay fur forty uioe dav. . . . " ;.. The Journal compUin that early in the session an appropriation was made for the pay of members. True. But it was in accordance with Republican precedent. The Legislature two years previous, the one that elected Lahe Senator, did the same thing: ' And It was dooe at the late cession upon the sulfation of Mr. Bkanhax, and he fixed the amount. And why was il done? It was to carry out in good faith the Treasury laws of 1?3 and ltd. Before then, the Treiurer had been in the habit of making advances to mem bers without an appropriation until the close of the session, but the law of 153 forbid any disbursements nnle?s by appropriations in pursuance of Iaw. Hence the appropriations. The ppropriation bills at the last session for the support of the State Government, to pay the interest upon the public debt, and to assist the wounded and sick . Indiana soldiers, ' were all prepared and ready at the usual time. Those bills are generally passed on the fifty-ninth day of the session. Nothing but the secession and absenee of the Republican members prevented them from being enacted into laws. If they had returned to their seats on the Siturday previous to the adjournment, Ihey would h ive been parsed. So, in that repard, the Republicans are without excuse. They knew that their absence would have the Ter elTVct it lias had. The Republican members themselves tated the interest could not be paid without a specific appropriation by tbe Legislature. They place-! that construction upon the law of 1859, by making the appropriations to pay the interest in the general appropriation bill of that year and also in lfcGl. . The great concern of the Journal and the Republican leaders is the opinions and decision of the Supreme Judges upon the interest question. We are not surprised at that. The arguments of the Ju Jges cannot le overcome, hence they must be abue! personlly. If tbe Journal really thinks that the opinions are such pre it outrages and so untenable; whv does it not present them to its readers to sustain its position? It d;ire not do that. It dare not let its reiders see the opinions which It attempts to weiken by lies about the men who wrote them. Why this disrespect of the decision of thei Supreme Court, when it claims entire obedience and the nvst obeqnesj respect fir the derisions of the Republican J u Igfs? I f laws are to be respeote.1 and obeyed, the deci'iwns of the Co art mut be sustained. The Jourml clnre that Jude Praia is influenced entirety by partisan sympathies, and that Judge Hann his "the credit of bein; a candid and open foe of his country and nothing else." Who is it that thus slanders the men wh fearlessly and honestly dichirge their duty, aud that tbey have done so no honest and unbi i-ed mm can question who reads their opinions? In ISO and 161, the editor of the Journal was in favor of a peaceable separation of the State. Rather th in civil war, which he regar del as a worse evil than the loss of a dozen States, he was In favor of disunion. He proclaimed the secession of Sonth Carolina an act of revolution, justified by the Declaration of Independence, nod that it was a virtual dissolution j the Uuion. He wrote articles to show the advantage of separation to the, North. , The Mon'gomery Constitution, with the exception of it recognition ' of the principles of the Drei S'iott decision, be pronounced a belter chart of government than our own. These declarations were made before the fall of SumUr. After the war was inaugurated, three months afterward, in July, 1661, he reiterated the correctness of all the previous declarations he had made, and to which we have briefly referred, and stated hi entire Ulmsi.es to let the Rebel State leave the Union, if they would lay down their arm lie vm in favor of separation, Ixit it was a pe iceahte not a forcible c'i-ruption of the Vn'um that he de-ireJ. Thirf is the ana that c.iIU in question the integrity and loyalty of the Supreme JuJe. and the Democratic members, "of the Legislature. If he h id a particle of honesty, or fchawe.like iL Mtrtthhe wuUnü-k his bead in the sandj.'eo.av,) foaceal the' roirtifieaiion wUfch the exhibition of bU other extremities hould occasion lim --- The. Journal inquires why the desire of the Democracy to call an extra ioit of the Le'ialatare." This qneation is eaily answered. They are willing to make personal sacrifice to maintain the hnor and c edit of the State. Tbej are pprwed to the exercise of ne man power. They believe il an example dangerous to the liberties of the people. They have no other motives than thae. The Journal having do integrity or regard far tTie'ptibfic "interests, can not appreciate honesty in others or devotion to the ptibtie .welfare above all personal or partisan con.Mderations. So clear is the Governor and the Republican members of the Legislature responsible for tbe failure to dhj the laws necessary to maintain the honor and credit of the State, that none but t!o!e-f partisans will deny it. They can not, honest!. . : . - ,

Xlie HewaA ItepuMitAn View. There is a general dis'ni't in the public mind iu regard to tte recftil telegraphic di-spa'chea conveying the Intelligence of the movement of Lee's army. Our Republican friends, or many of them, regard them as apocryphal, and as a clever ruse on the part of the Administration to recru!t the army. Thts may be o. As all our tnformtion by te'egraph con?es through Republican sources, or h revise! by Government censors, we are in a measure constrained to accept the construction place! upon the news by our . Republican friends. They may, therefore, be right. We look upon the matter differently.' We think that Li:b has made the advance to counteract, if possible, tbe disasters to the Rebels in the Southwest, and satisfy the public mind in the South. He has a fine army, and he knows how to handle them. ' And there is sufficient evidence to justify the opiniori that he has handled them effectively during the past two weeks, and before he is-ehecked he will do na immense damge. The people of the South are in earnest, terribly in earnest. However much we ' may condemn Iheir cause, they are fighting for an object which they believe to be right, and the best proof of it is the great sacrifices they are making to achieve success. . If we overcome the rebellion onr policy must be different. While the President is writing a political letter to some New, York . politicians,', end seek1" . t justify the nse of arbitrary power, and while Hook r a is reposing in some shndv plerf npon ' the Rappahannock, drinking iced champagne, Lee Is on the move, striking us damaging blows. The whole min.agcment of the war must change. Loafers must be removed from the army. Idleness and drunkenness must cease. The officers and soldiers in the loyal States must be placed where they can meet the

Rebel foes. It is time that we, too, should be in earnest and be prepared to make sacrifices, if we expect to triumph over the rebellion. An old Republican friend remarked to us resterday, that he was getting tired of the war lie desired its end Referring to the raid of Lee's army he hoped thai if we couldn't whip the Rebels, . that they might whip us, and end the matter. And if the war is managed moch longer as it has been, this sentiment will grow in the public mind. The Jonrnalandllie (iovernor. The Court organ, in iu isue of yesterday, at tempts to apolog'ze for the Governor's violation of law. That is an up hill business, and the Journal feels it to be so. It ch illenges the Sent inel "to point to a dollar which t!ie Governor h is used which the law require him to pay into the Treasury." We challenge the Journal to point to a dollar which the Governor has used, since the contingent fund was exhausted, that the laws do not require him to pay into the State Treas ury. It is obligatory upon him to pay all moneys that he receive on account of the State into Ute State -Treasury. That r his duty.- - Says the Journal, "whatever money U paid into the Treaury is now shut up." The Gov ernor and his nurti-an friends shut it np They know tbe lawful way of opening the treasury und disbursing the fuuda there. Let the Governor c ill the repres ntatives of the people together, and the brake which the Republican members of the House placed upon the wheels of legislation would imi be removed. The Journal gays the Sentinel and State officers demand that the public institutions shall be closed. They do no such thing. They do demand, however, that the Governor shall assemble the Legislature, so that the appropriations in pursuance of the Constitution and the laws of the State can be made to support these institutions, and pay the interest upon the public debt. But the Governor refuses. He is fearful that some appropriations will be made thar will not minister to his vanity. That's what's the matter. He would rather no appropriation should be made for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers of Indian i, if it is not done so as to promote the personal inteiest of himself, and after that, to benefit hi party. The State officers have no ri-;ht to carry on the public institutions of the Si tte, upon their own account. The la w establishing the Tre isury system, pastel in 1559, prevent them. And, recollect that law was passed over the objections of the late Governor Willaru. If Ihe State officers are tied up, the Republicans h ive no one to blame but themselves. To use a homely figure, they are cauuht in their own trap. We do not object to the law, however. There can not be too many guard thrown around the Treasury svittem. No public officer should be permitted to use the public money, at his own discretion. Nothing but the stubbornness of the Governor prevents t e assembling of the LegMature. The pnbli'j interests demand that he should do so. but w hat c-ires he for the public welfare? There is just now a peculiar emergency for assembling the Represent ttive., of the people. We cannot tell at what moment a Rebel f irce may appear npon our borders and invade our territory. Provisions should be piatle in anticipation of tich an event. Atid it 5s not at all improbable. The raid of Col. Grierson through several hundred miles of Rebel territory is the bet evidence that our soil could be invaded in the s:tne way by a we'd disciplined force. There is another reason. The dictates of humanity demand that provision should be made for our sick and wounded soldiers. We. notice that several hundred k-k Indiana boys were re cently landed at St. Louis from .Vicksburg. More will come. The sickly season is at hand. But the Governor desires no a ppropriation by the Legislature for such an object,' unle he is made the almoner of the bouutv. Nothing but the greed of public applause and miserable party scheme prevent the Governor from performing a plain publi-; duty. Ue acts upon the sentiment that it i. better to rule in hell than tcne in heaven. , . , From th Louisvdl Journal. The nomination of YallandiKliniii. Tho nomination of Vallaiidiham for the Governorship of Ohio by the Ohio Democratic State Convention is the product of several factions, the greatest of which, as we conceive, Js the feeling of mingled indignation and compassion and distrust excited by the unlawful treatment he has receive! at the u mds ot an odious Administration, und the very least of which is the approval Ol" his viewa leiecting the war. Indeed his views respecting the war apie.ir to have cut little or no figure in the procedure. He was nomi natal in spite of them rather than in consequence of then. snJ, if he V.tll be elertcd, he will be elected in like manner. The proceedings of the convention evinced in this particular hothing'n.ive person. if svinjathv with him and deep felt wrath at tb Aduihiitrüou; Ute platform do(4l by the convention, which we emleavor to make room fot in the Journal of to morrow, does not apfr v hi vicwi -resting the wr fund the speech of the H'-n. George E.' IJu";li. who after the delivery 'of the speech was nominated by acclamation for the Lieutenant Governorship, ex' prestdy repudiated thoce riews. The truth seems to be tlwt the qne-tion the convention intended tu raise by nominating Vallaiidigh-.m in not the question of peace but Hin; ly the quetiou of the light of the freedom ol discussion. And considering human nature as habitually luaniie.-ded niulcr tree in.-tituiions, the inaiiiter iu which (he convention thought fit to put t Iii- question to the people can surprise ifb enlightened person, though we think every enlightened patriot niu-t regtet it The act is the offspring not of del ib ration but of generous passion mounting toward pienzy. We lament it but do not marvel at It. The w hole affair is regniit with a wholesome lesson to the legislators and administrator of constitiitiou:l government. This ies-on l indi cated not unfaithfully by the Republican lawyer wto. the other-day, supported the applK-mioir for relief iu the case of the suppression of the Chi dgo Times. "I hold, said Mr. Joy in bis able argument in the case mentioned, "that Vallandigham has been tlie cause of a thousand fold more miacfcitf tbio be otherwise coaid have been, aim-

ply because the Government committed the error of sanctioning bis arrest and trial by a military court. He would have had but little influetoe, if let alone, with multitude who will now .follow bim. His sentiments would have been ondenmed we -e condemned by the great mass of the people of both parties.i Why is it that we now see public meetings like those held in Albany, Detroit, Indianapolis, aud other cities, to express sympathy with him and condemnation of the Government, and almost lauding him, 'and these meetings heldjunder the auspice of respectable men, and addressed by able and influential men? Why is he adopted as a candidate for Governor in his own State by a. whole party, but a small portion of whom before stood by hi. side? It is only bfcauf e the hand of power, in his person, has etruck down, in public estimation, a r'ght which is held sacred by all and deemed vitally essential in our form of government to public liberty." This in onr opinion is substantially the truth. The lesson, as we have said, is a wholesome lesson; may it not prove a costly one.

The Administration are really" infected with the idea that the Confederates, in strong force, are going to invade the North sometime during the summer and that they will make a bold attack on Washington, or else invade Pennsylvania in such numbers as will make it a very serious matter to dislodge them from any position they may take up there In my letter of June 7, 1 described the preparations that are being made to defend Alexandria and this city from a sudden coup de main. In order to provide for the defense of lVniisylvania, two new military departments have been created In that State; and Gen Schencl." has been relieved of all duty within iu limits, and has leen instructed t confine himself in future to Maryland, and the defense of the Balti more and Otiio railroad in Virginia. Ti.is action of the War Department in regard to Schenck is eminently wise. While matters exist as they are at present, it is quite as much as a General of good abilities can attend to roperly to gu.ird that great avenue of travel and traffic from the West to the national capital. And, if wisdom were to be looked for in the action of the War Department, it might be expected that Schenck would be sent into the field in ch arge of a brigade (and even that would be beyond his abilities), and a man of some mental ability and force of character sent to t ike charge of tbe Middle Department and the bih army corps But this is not to be expeeted. All that the Adininistrademnnds from the head of that Department, is a blind submission to its behests in political nutters; and, so lomi a. that i yielded, military matter are regarded as of quite secondary importance. Consequently, although the Baltimore and Ohio R.iilroad is quite sife now.an is likely to remain so, (and surely 20,O(K) troops ought to ktep it safe) jet we shall not be surprised to hear of an attack on some unguarde- portion of it. When a General ot fair ability, and a soldier by education, is sent to t ike charge of the Middle Department, then, and not till then, it will be impossible for the Confederates to approach tho line of the road. . The two new military departments in Pennsylvania have been placed under the charge of Mj. Gen. Conch and Gen. Brooks, both of the Army of the Potomac. I do not know much about Gen. F-roook. Gen. Couch is a soldier of good abilities; quite fit. as he has proved himself, to command an army corps, and quite too good a General to be taken from the held at this juncture. His headquarter are to be fixed at (Jhatnbersliurg, lorty five miles southwest of the State Capital, and near the Maryland State line. His department embrace that half of the State east of the Allegheny Mountains, as the department cf Gen. Brooks embraces all that o.irt of the State west of those mountains. Each one of these two Generals will immediately raise an army corps of 4 1,000 men, if they can do so. T he-proclamation of tbe War Department, telegraphed yesterday, is most ridiculous. It orders all the cit reus of Pennsylvania, between eighteen and sixty, to organize themselves into regiments and brigades, in order that General Couch anil General 15rok may form them into divisions and corp d'armee for the defense of the State. They are to serve during the pleasure of tbe President, or during the continuance of the war. This, at the time when the enrollment for the conscription is progressing, if decidedly cool.' There is no authority in the War Department to issue such a call, and all the troops raised under it mut bo volunteers. But not only his Pennsylvania furnished her full quota of volunteers, but also the draft was ac . tu ally enforced in that State last fall, and her full proportion of draltcd men was furnished and sent to the army. It i scarce'y likely, therefore, that ull the rem lining citizen of Pennsylvania, between the ages of eighteen and sixty, will respond to this call. It is quite probable, however, that in the hole State 30 .000 youth between seventeen and twenty, and 20.1MM) old men between forty five and sixty-five may be found willing to act strictly in defense of their State, and General Conch and General Brooks will probably have to be content with 50,000 raw re cruit of those age. There is a great de.il ot opposition manifested against the conscription in Pcnnsy Iviin'i. , ' ' The news of the nomination of Mr. Vallandigliam for Governor of Ohio, comes like a stunner on the Administration. They did not believe guch a thing could be possible; and they are in ai quandary about it, for they know not hat to do. Stanton i.s for war to the bitter end. If hiscoiuisel and those of Senator Sumner nrevail.the Administration not only will not recede from the position it has taken, but it will even arrest Mr Vallandighatn again,-when he return to Ohio, and incarcerate him in Pert Warren, in accord-, ance with Burn-dde's original sentence' And this they will do, if it requires all the military forte in Bumble's military deputnient, and if the collision that ensues is attended with much blood.-hed. Stanton and Sumner t ike the ground that the Government has the power to do this, and that its ht nor requires that it shall be done, and thai the decree of the President banishing Vallandigham must be enforced. We must show, they say, that we h ive a Government. On the other hand, Mr. Chase and Mr. Seward recommend a milder, more moderate, and far iscr course. They recommend that no farther notice be taken of Mr Vallandigham; that no olwtacles be placed in the way of Iiis return to Ohio; ntii) that his friends be informed unoflirial ly, but by person in authority, that he Will not be mole-ted, if lie returns to that State. It ii probable, I think, that the President will adopt the latter course. It is not unlikely that, when the committee of twenty reach thiseiiy, they will be publicly informed that the President declines to accede to thei' request to release Mr. Vallandigham, but they will be privately assured by members of the Administration, that gentleman ill be allowed to curif North again and re enter the "loyal Slates" by any route he may clwose. . Tbe country has. leMi greatly deceived in regard to the recent cavalry fight ou tbe Rappahannock. It was, in truth; a bloody affair, bat it Im not effected a particle of good. The loss inflicted upon the enemy was not great, while our own loss, particularly iu officers, was very heavy. .We have lost, indeed, so many officers, that several of our cavalry regiments are in consequence entirely incapacitated fur service. If Gen. Sl'ixrt intended to make a cavalry raid, bis puro-e will not be changed by this fight. If (en Lee intended to move on Washington or invade the North, this cavalry naht will not hinder him. It is tine that Gen. Lee has been strongly reinforced lately, and be has now. 75,000 troops. .TtlMl AltY iti:?i.s. There .has been quite a revival in the recruiting busiotK'3 within the few daya past, in New York city. The ciilistmenU at the various offices are said to average about fifty per day. In some regiment $20') is still ofTered as bounty for reel uits, and these, of course, have the preference. We arc utterly unable to understand whv it is, that, hie our armies arc in want of reinforcements, large bodies of troops are retained in. the Una! States, here, mo fr as the country knows, they have nothing to do. Is there i i this some great strategy too profound for public comprehension? Louisville Journal. -A goo? deal tif feeling has been caused by the recent order for a change iu naval uni orm, the third since the rebellion began.. The a mount' of gold lace tobe used is peifectly awful, and officers of high gride will be so triped and spangled as to look more like jugglers or circus losriM than like sensit! . , A letter has been received by Mrs. James Tilghmau, in Philadelphia, from the wife of her -on, General Titghman, stating Hint she is with him, and that be ia but slightly wounded.

'I lie jriiiliarjr Situation. ' Abou two years ago General Scott started grand army of the United States" on its march southward, by way of Virginia, to "hold, occupy t)d possess ihe property and places belonging to the Government," and to take care that "the laws of the Union should be faithfully executed in all the States." 'Since that we have a succession of battles, of gTeiter or less extent, with advances ard retreats ir.numerable, and not less than half a miliion men have been lost to the country in all ways. After much endeavor, in what position is the war? Practically we may now consider the rebellion s represented by about thiee hundred and fifty thousand effective sold1 Vside from its armies the rebellion h 'i.-.' v '' and those armies are conseqiKiiti ! e tna i.ijectire points. They are in the field t -"-eocicksburg, Petersburg and Staunton, in Vurinia; at Ooldsboro and Wilmincton.tn North Carolina; at Charleston, in South Carolina: at Savannah, in Georgia; at Tal-

lshasee, in Florida; at Monticelln, in Kentuckv; at Knoxville, Sbelbyville and Chatt'noogo, in Tennessee; at Madison. Jacksonport and Little Rock, in Arkansas; at Mobile, t Port Hudson and at Vicksburg. , ' Though we have thus named eighteen point, the force at pome of them is quite small, and micht, for any importance to the points themselves, be smaller; for the whole struggle i now concentrated really in five theatres of operations, and the theatres of primary Importance are fewer still; far the positions at Gold.-boro and Wilmington are merely the acknowledgement of a we?.it ness there, and the positions at Petersburg and Stannton are of equally smsll account certainly the latter. - Marmadnke's position at Madison, in Arkansas, and Fegram's at Älonticello in Kentucky, both depend, like the fortunes of the celebrated Guppy, upon "circumstances over which they have no control." Those position will'be fought for on other field. Fredericksburg, Vicksb'arg. the centre of the line between thee two in Teni essee, and the position at Charleston (which practically may be counted as one with that at Savannah) are the great points, the points at which the war appears to culminate. In fact, the rebellion nny be regarded as drawn up on one immense field. It faces to the Northwest, and its rear rests upon the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. Lee holds the right atiove Richmond; Johnston and Peinberton, between them, hold the left at Vicksburg; Bragg and Bucknerhold the centre; and the reserve, under Beauregard, is at Savannah and Charleston, ready to be sent anywhere, and in a position to guard the ap proache in that direction, if indeed this reserve has not already been sent elsewhere. Against ti e Rebel ri;ht, ns thus indicated, we have hitherto directed our main effort neither well nor wisely not for any good reason, since it is not a decisive point, either topographically or strategically. In this e hive been governed by a vague noiion that we ought to take the enemy's capital. But the Southern States are no France they have no Paris They h ive no eapital except as they choose to name a town as a place of as-embly ftr their rulers. Richmond was probably designated as the seat of government to invite advance in that direction, and to kea-p the war us much a-; possible in Virginia and out of the States more deeply interested in the contest. As for tlie pre-tige we might gain by the capture of the enemy's capital, it is not an cqniviilent for the loss of sixty thousand men; Yet with the Bull Run campaign, the Peni.inla campaign, Pope's impotent attempt, BurnsidtfV repulse and Hooker's horrible catastrophe, we ha e lost at least that mmy in the attempt, and still the Rebel right is essentially where it was. All that we have done against it has been to the advantage of the Rctcls, and the prestige, which was more to them than to us, is all theirs. Agninst their center we have had more success. By the opctations in Western Virginia, and from the capture of Fort Donelson onward, we have pushed it, with varying fortunes, to the Northern line of the Gulf States, and it rests not far north of that. Every , treat battle fousht there has been completely in mir f ivor. Hooker and Rose cruis now respectively watch the-e point on the right mid center Their business is to stand still, ferh.tps to thteilen but above all to hold fast, looker is perhaps soon to be tried agajn. It i for him to fee that the Rebel rieht, under Lee, does n-jt advance into the frre States and achieve the success by which it expects to balance the disaster that is to fall u,-oii it in the West. Rose crans, who is a hard fighter, with a soubriquet, and who ha plenty of brain, without preten?e, will do his part with quiet tenacity. Upon the Rebel left we begin our operations well with Captain Nathi.oiel Lyoo, who would have closed up matters in that direction very shortlv if he had been given the entire command there B'lt the romantic tastes of the period had to be pandered to, and Lyon, who was not at all romantic, pave way to Fremont, who was. Then followed an avalanche of errors. Fremont was swept from hi official feet at last, and theenemj was driven from Missouri, beaten at Pea Rhtire. and row stands at bay by the "City on the Hill," where he holds with almost the jniwcr of despair his last point on the Mississippi river. Genera! Grant h is thus far acted against Vicksburg w ith great boldness ami ability. Let him but continue bis campaign in the soirit 5n which it has so lar been carried on, anil Vicksburg will be ours, and the rebellion w ill lose by tl at blow, half of i's already small territory. ' Banks operations further down the river though fr the jiresctit dwarfed in'public estimation by the apparently greater operations of Grant are nevertheless of the first importance, as iu any event they deprive the rebellion of an immense territory and of g-eat mtterial wealth. Grant, however, has in hi hands the great ame in the Southwest. Let him but win, and Rcsecrans and Hooker mean--while hold their places, and from the hour when Vicksburg is ours we may date the downfall of the rebellion. Charleston and the position in East Tennessee will then, with Richmond, lie the points of importance, and the great SouthernConfederacy will be reduced to a convenient size. Already we have achieved a great deal Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky assured; M'ssouri Tennessee and half of Virginia re deemed; Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and half of Florida essentially in our iis.-ession; a slice of North Carolina ours, and Mississippi in the bl lance stu b nie the results; and vet the miser.t ble partisan spoolers tell their audience lli.it we are no nearer to the end ol the war th in e were two yers ago.

W e certainly wish to treat the President with the respect that should pertain to his office, but it is extremely difficult' to attempt the deliberate refutation of nonsense. Among the weak and contradictory defe-ise which h ive been set np i;j extenuation of arbitrary arrests, Iii must bear the palm of being the most effective burlesque upon settled principles. Indeed, remembering his penchant for jocularity, we are puzzled to decide, in reading hi response to '.he meeting at Albany, whether he intended it as jest or argu ment. He claims as a constitutional right, in the absence of martial law, the prerogative of making arbitrary arrest, and of instituting such trial as he or his sulordtnate officers may deem proper, and visiting upon offenders or victims such pon ishment as miy comport with the judgments, temper or caprices of the military courts, or of his own. If hi argument is worth a rush, it i simply an assertion of the right, in the loyales well "as the insurrectionary States, to exercise unlimited despotism. Without this there is nothing about it of copsistency. It i not necessity here to inquite into his right to declare martial law in the loyal States, or how far, under such a declaration, he would Im j'iitified in superseding the civil authorities and denying constitution il right. Thi question ia not involved. - The point in issue ia aa to his authority to supenede civil by military law in peaceful States, in the absence ot nnv declaration of martial law Upon this point we quote the subjoined extinct from the argument of Mr. Joy, in the late case of Storey Si Wordon vs. Burnside et al: ..... i "Martial law snperseles really no other law, but. in a disturbed country, when civil law cannot be enforced, and so far ag the civil law has become of no effect.then, and then only, martial law the Jaw of force where there is no other law must of necessity 8'ipoly its place. When the attempt is made to'extend it beyond that nenessilyrand supersede, without necessity, the civil law in a peaceful and quiet community, it becomes usurp aion. pore and simple." The obvious justice and common sense of this position should require no argument to sustain it.

But Mr. Joy, with the intent to make "assurance doubly sure." fortified this point with citations from the French, Belgic, Italian and Spanish Constitutions, as well as authorities upon international lw. The President was indirectly a party in that case, nnd vre may reasonably presume had read Mr. Joy's argument. If he did read it with the attention it deserved, not Only for the momentous interests pendin?,but ite adroira ble exposition of the law and clear and searching argument, it is Inexplicable to us that heconldbave written such a letter, except upon the suppodrion that he intended it Tor what one of our humorist haa been pleased to denominate Sharkas urn. If he has not read the argument, he had best do so, for no other reason than to ascertain how justly he was upholding law in the revocation of Gen Burnside'a order Mr! Joy's opinion is entitled, moreover, to consideratiop as that of ft

gentlemen who can assuredly, without pretension, claim at least as intimate and comprehensive a knowledge of law a the President will care to assert for himself. " It Is fortunate for Mr. Lincoln that daring the Mexican war President Polk posesel Ie3 exalted Ideas of the Presidential prerogative than has obtained in these ' latter days. Had he not, Mr. Lincoln might have been doomed to an exi'e whose terra wonld have pre vented his occupying his present position. He then made a moch better argument for rebellion than he has ever made against it, and voted against appropriations for our armie?, as Mr. V allandigham did last winter, and denounced that war as Mr. Vallandigham has denounced this one; b-it we think he would have treated it as by far the best joke of the season, had Mr. I oik attempted his abduction at midnight, with an intent to aPord him a residence in the Dry Tortugas. Such a proceedure wonld, doubtless, have reminded him of more than one little anecdote. We can not, on the whole, believe his letter wa intended by him to be received as argument; but great men should remember that, in troublous partisan times, there are zealous and credu'ous dupe's who receive seriously and act noon, as did the old Greek s oracular responses, the scorching iror y of leaders, who find, as did the heathen divinities, their most assure-! success in doubtful rejoinders, which rebuke, yet deceive, the infatuation thst interpret bv inclination in stead of reason. Chicago Times. From the Southern In1Ian)an. Incitement In Green County. On Friday lat, it was rumored that a company of fifty eight soldiers sent from Indianapolis, had le t the cars at Sullivan, ard were making their ay towards the residence of Hon. Andrew Hum phrey for the purpose of arresting him and sev eral other who had been engaged in making speeches in the county in support of the Constitu tion and the laws. The new of their arrivai spread far and wide; and, as a consequence, some fifteen hnndred to two thousand of the citizens assemb'ed on Saturday to ascertain from them the object of their visit It appears that the sol diers had encamped within four miles of the residence of Sir. Humphreys, and, upon being emesticned as to the object of their visit, their excuse was, that they were in search of deserters. It appears, however, that during their short stay, they managed to steal a number of horses, culled at several hou-es and insulted the women and children, and also demanded of a citizen a fine horse which he was riding, and upon his refusing to sire up, one of the soldiers Miot at him, the ball grazing his w rist. It appears also, that the citizen of Greene county had learned something of ths proposed visit of ihese soldiers, ai d of their object in com ing into the county, and it wu understood to be to arrest private citizens, (and not deserters for we nre informed that there are not two deserters in the county) the people seem determined to prevent, if possible, all such arrests. Upon the assembling of the citizens, thi soldiers were requestel to return to Indianapolis, and not visit Greene county again in such force anil for such purposes. Thev were in formed that if they really desired to capture deserters, there would be no obstacle placed in their way but on the other hand, the ciiizM would assist them, for thev w inted no deserter among them. They believe it right and just that every man who enlisted in the service of the United State should serve out the time for which he enliste!. faithfully. No de-erfer should find sid and comlort from n true constitutional Democrat. ' As there is no war or rebellion in this country, it is considered very injudicious upon the part of the Government to dace arm in the hands of ene political party to the exclusion of another. The natural tendency of ibis move will be to create suspicion and hatred, and as a matter of self protection, the nrminr of them-elves. All this could have lieen avoided, had the Administration not made the first move in the matter. As it now stands, should he "pom er that be" determine to send arms nnd soldiers into this eonny to any pe it extent, there is no telling where or w hen the affair will end. We are apprehensive it will prove a much more serious matter than any of u could wish to see. We therefore advise ami admonish the people to do nothing to encourage or bring mIxhic so deplorable a fta'e of affairs in our midst. It is rumotcd that there are many thousand of nrmcd men in this and adjoining countis, who would take a part in a difficulty of this kind, should it once commence. We sincerely trust th-.t wisdom may rule the hour and that no ruch calamity may lefal our people. It is reported by some that these soldier were a hand of reckless, lawless men, actin without any authority from the Government. If so, the military anthoritiv at Indianapolis should at once set the public mind ri-;ht upon the subject. Patriotic Letter of Kitz John Porter. The Democracy of Newark, New Jersey, recently sent a letter to Fitx John Porter to attend and adlres a Vallandigham meeting at that place, to which Gen. Porter replied a follows. Ntw York. May 29. 1?G3. Sir: I am honored by the invitation of your association to be present at N'?w York, on S itur day the IlOih inst . and to uddress the conservative people then nnd there to be assembled. Apart from the coiiidTiiou that my education beinsr exclusively inilitnry, has not . prepared me lei address my fellow citizens, other than as lei-' low soldiers, I beg leave, underall circumstance, t- decline your very rcspectt'ul and kind invitation. - -i H.The dispassionate exercise of the guaranteed right of free utieech cm not be yielded by any American citizen in time of war or in peace. If there be any'hins worth contending for any tli ii tr the value of which can not be estimated, it is this. It has b-eu well said by one jf our most eminent statesmen born in my own native State: "Without freedom of speech there can be no lasting liberty the Republic can not exist. If every man should close hi lips and not venture even a word againt violated rights, who could maintain a free government? Nobody! A people who cannot disc ua the public measures of ft nation, and apply tbe necessary rebuke to insure correction of wr ngs.cnn not be a free people, and do not deserve to lie." This sentiment should be dear to every American.. Other men may tilk about the principle, but those of my name and blood will not, at the proper time, fail to fiht for ic. The contest of arms, however, will not be required; the certain and jioaceful remedy will be found at the ballotbox. Let ii all posses. our 60uU in patience." That reme.lv is sure. You have been pleased to refer to my own case in terms of greit kindness and sympathy. I thank you. The persecutions of my enemies have been most unjust nnd cruel. I may be permitted to say that I have done something, and imperiled something to uphold the glorious en sign of the Republic, under which I was born; and my own conscience acquits me of ever haying done anything, even in thought, to dishonor that flag X military tribunal has condemned me, and the President of the United States, influenced by the lawyer who strove, through more than forty days, to convict me. ha approved of that sentence; but I appeal from that sentence and condeninati n to my countrymen, the American people. The record of my trial is publishedit is before the country. Let it be read and studied, for by that record I am willing to be judged, and to stand or to fall. ' But 1 will not detain you with a record of my personal griefs, although you hare so kindly alluded to them You meet to preserve public liberty; and epec:ally one of the most sure sup porta of that liberty the trial by jury; nnd my fervent prayer is. that your efforts, in concert with others, may !e crowned with success. - I am, "with high resoect, ' Your ob't serv't.
